Teun Rookus: Connect Your Guests with Strolling Magic
Artist · Sleen
Not every magician brings people closer together! As a strolling close-up magician, I move among your guests and create amazement right before their eyes.
A great performance isn't about the perfect trick. It's about what happens after the amazement: colleagues who suddenly strike up a conversation, guests who barely know each other sharing an experience they'll talk about for a long time to come. My name is Teun Rookus, professional close-up magician with over 10 years of experience — and a Master of Science in Psychology. You won't hear about that combination during a performance, but you'll definitely notice it. I can sense precisely when a group needs a laugh, when they need astonishment, and when someone deserves a moment in the spotlight. That's why it lands with everyone: from directors to interns, from grandma to the kids. My specialty is magic at arm's length, with nothing more than my hands, a few cards and some coins. No big box of tricks, no performance that demands attention — but an experience that sparks conversations. Every group is different, so no performance is the same: I adapt to the atmosphere, the pace and the people in front of me. You don't have to take my word for it: "We hired Teun for a group dinner with 250 people. It was a huge success and everyone was a big fan and impressed by all the tricks. Definitely recommended!!!" — Jamie Bruinink, Van der Valk Hotel Lelystad · group dinner 250 people (★★★★★ Google) "Teun performed as a table magician at our company party. Really great fun and especially connecting for the guests. Our guests' reactions were full of amazement and enthusiasm. Brilliantly done!" — Serge Beukers, company party (★★★★★ Google) "By walking around and 'surprising' both children and adults with great magic tricks, he conjured up a big smile on everyone's face. Highly recommended!" — Emile Petiet, family day (★★★★★ Google) For which events? My close-up magic works perfectly as an icebreaker during drinks receptions, welcomes, walking dinners or between courses. Popular at company parties, staff parties, networking events, receptions, anniversaries, weddings and family days — from intimate gatherings to dinners with hundreds of guests. I regularly perform at hotels and hospitality and event venues, so a professional collaboration with your venue is guaranteed. What you can expect from me: • A performance tailored to your guests — no standard show. • Entertainment that runs itself: you don't need to announce or arrange anything. • Always personal contact beforehand, so it fits seamlessly into your program. • Suitable for indoors and outdoors, in Dutch, English or Portuguese. There are many magicians who show tricks. My goal is different: I want your guests to go home feeling they've shared something special together. Want to discuss whether it's right for your event?
